One positive note about crafting...

[Lunaru]

Oh no! God forbid they should start to actually enforce optimal rank! It's the end of the damn world I tell ya, how dare SE penalize people for wearing gear above their actual rank?!

maybe iam to stubborn to understand my own tools, or if logic is not requested (would fit for some players i guess)

i use a hammer for quite some time(lvl 1), i use then a better hammer(30sh),also quite some time,..and so on
but then iam to stubborn to use a bit better hammer (6 lvl higher then skill) ? gosh, i cant wait to get any reasonable explanation why i shouldn't be able to use it at least the same good as the former one . even less then good as the 14lvl lower one. we don't talk about bit less bonus,we talk about half of it
math-wise 14 lvl lower= better bonus,then 6 lvl higher ..
fits for rods/hammer/alembics etc

its a hammer, not rocket-science

or enlight me, why the seneschal coatee lost all bonus, (not outlvld,not changed,didnt even get dated)
